V IMPROVEMENT IN HORSE-POWERS.'

The Schedule referred to In these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom-it may concer-n being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specication. l

This invention relates to improvements in horsepower, and consists in improved arrangements of the supporting-frame for the operating parts calculated to simplify and cheape'n the construction; also, to proj vide a substantial and durable frame.

It also consists in an improved arrangement of the operating mechanism. p p

The drawing represents a side elevation ot my im7 proved horse-power,

I provide a, strong wood frame, composed of the two lvertical piecesA and the cap B.

The pieces Aare made long on the bottom, so as to rest rml'y on thev ground; and Within this frame I provide a metal frame, composed of the top crossbar C, the bottom bar D, and the end bars E F, all bolted together, as shown.

The upper and lower crossfbars serve for the bearings of the vertical shafts G H, and the lower bar, which is bent so as togprovide space at I for thewheel K above the' yline of the lower part, furnishes the bearings for the end of the-line-shaft L at M. The other bearing for this shaft isY formed in the lower end of the vertical bar F.

Inthis improved frame I mount the master-wheel O on the top of the vertical shaft, rising up through the frames, the pinion P on the top of shaft H also rising up through the frame, the horizontal shaft L, and the bevelwheels K P, all as shown, the whole providing an eliicient arrangement for obtaining a high speed for the shaft L. A

The sweepsare attached to the master-wheel O in the usual way.

The shaft L carries the universal joint S at the end projecting from the frame in the usual way.

It will be seen that the metallic frame may be made in a very simple and cheap way, the bars being cast so as to go together Without requiring any fitting.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim as newand desire to secure'by-Letters.

Patent- A f The combination of the wood and metal frames for the support of the operative mechanism,'when con-v structed and arranged substantially as specified.
